Description
This song was originally written and recorded by a trio I played with back in the 70s (with Don Wrege and Chris Lee). I recently arranged and rerecorded this. It seems appropriate for the space race 2009. The song is a whimsical sci-fi piece describing a honeymoon on the planet mars.
I played all of the parts, except the intro which I salvaged from the original 70s recording (Don playing some analog synths with some embellishment from me).

Chris wrote the lyrics to that one also. It was written around the same time as "Honeymoon" and performed
by the same trio. Hope you enjoy it.

Honeymoon on Mars (lyrics by Chris Lee)
Phobos they say is made of golden honey
Thus sticky sweet, to feed your cuddle bunny
and double moons make double tunes and slurpy spoons
and juicy joons and countless other groovy boons.
So pack your pillow we'll hop a rocket
I'll pack my plug, you tote your socket
It's good old tab A in good old slot B
for you and me... Eternally...
Honeymoon on Mars
Fly me to the stars
The red hot rhythms that you rumba to
are like some science fiction dream come true
Why you and me can boogaloo supreme
In oceans of absynthe whipped cream
And all the creatures of this peculiar planet
will not deplore it, censor it or ban it
if the maiden dance of the martian fire ants
should cause us both to wet our pants
Honeymoon on Mars
Fly me to the stars
Down those canals that folks most seldem use
doing things they seldom dare
All the ecstasy is real, luxuriating without care
its just too bad there isn't any air.
And if some sexy saucaline should spy us
maybe they will land and maybe try us
If they like us they may fly us far away
to where the sexy saucy saucer people play
Honeymoon on mars
Fly me to the stars
Honeymoon on mars
Fly me to the stars
Phobos they say is made of golden honey
Thus sticky sweet, to feed your cuddle bunny
and double moons make double tunes and slurpy spoons
and juicy joons and countless other groovy boons.
So pack your pillow we'll hop a rocket
I'll pack my plug, you tote your socket
It's good old tab A in good old slot B
for you and me... Eternally...
Honeymoon on Mars
Fly me to the stars
The red hot rhythms that you rumba to
are like some science fiction dream come true
Why you and me can boogaloo supreme
In oceans of absynthe whipped cream
And all the creatures of this peculiar planet
will not deplore it, censor it or ban it
if the maiden dance of the martian fire ants
should cause us both to wet our pants
Honeymoon on Mars
Fly me to the stars
Down those canals that folks most seldem use
doing things they seldom dare
All the ecstasy is real, luxuriating without care
its just too bad there isn't any air.
And if some sexy saucaline should spy us
maybe they will land and maybe try us
If they like us they may fly us far away
to where the sexy saucy saucer people play
Honeymoon on mars
Fly me to the stars
Honeymoon on mars
Fly me to the stars
